I bought a new stove about 5 yrs ago and totally neglected cleaning the top around the burners. I had a really thick burnt area just like this video. I have tried every method I could find and none of them worked. I want to thank this individual for providing a real and effective way to totally clean it and restore it to almost perfect condition. Yes it did take about 3 hours, but after the neglect, it was a small sacrifice to make. If I could I'd kiss this dude on the lips. God bless you and thank you.
I was just cleaning my stovetop. It's a whirlpool same black piano finish. I tried using my nail and i could see it was actually lifting. I thought to myself perhaps I could use a razor? I stumbled across this video and confirmed I can use one. I'm ordering a razor right now and am finally going to clean that residue off once and for all. Key word to everyone after the clean up... prevention is far easier than the fix. Thanks HOwtoWith GEO!
Great video. Worked great on those black grease stains. I would like to add that anyone doing this wear cut resistant gloves and safety glasses. A trip to the hospital for cutting your self with a razor blade or having a corner break off and go into your eye and you’d wish you just bought a new stove. You only got one set of eyes
Lesson Learned: NEVER, EVER buy a residential quality gas stove like this one! I made the mistake, thinking how much more versatile the gas cooktop would be and have been sadly disappointed ever since. The gas only provides marginal increase in heat (if any) and it's a constant--I mean CONSTANT pain to keep modestly clean. Mine has looked like this one many times, simply because it's such a headache to clean!!!
You are the first person to actually show some real caked on grease you find in all rentals everyone shows some fake tiny stains oh the kicker was the guy who said he made pancakes for the family and tossed flour on the stove oh god but thanks i haven't watched all the way through but thos is probably going to be what i need thanks
You are a GENIUS!!! I've been wasting my time and money on heavy duty scrubbers and cleaners. $1.89 at Harbor Freight for a razor blade scraper and I'm finished!
After hours of trying to clean my stove top, that has been seriously neglected after months of me being away to take care of my mom and others in the house not cleaning after they cook, I was getting pretty frustrated. I was to the point that I didn't care if I scratched it or not. I watched many videos like you mentioned with little success. And then I saw yours! I was amazed! I got off stuff that I thought was a permanent fixture from years ago. I never write reviews on videos, but damn, I was impressed. Thank you~
This trick is amazing! I have tried everything in the past as you said in the beginning of the video and I almost gave up. And then I found this. Just took me an hour or so to clean all the grease and gunk that has been sitting there from more than a decade maybe! Hands down the best trick till date!!!
Your video was a great help. I was at my wits end. My stove is only 5 years old and the top looked as bad as yours. I tried everything to clean it and thought I would need a new top, or have to find a way to paint it. It actually looked like it was heat damage caused by defective paint. Seeing your stovetop looked just like mine, I figured I try your method. And damn. Within a few seconds I was elated to see Brand new paint begin to appear from under the crusty hardened surface. Using your exact blades and method, within about an hour I resurrected my stovetop and without exaggeration looks like the day we bought it. Now I know it was just hardened grease and not bad paint. Thanks for sharing this on video, it saved me from going down the wrong path.
Thank you for posting this video. After 30 years, stove top looked new, thanks to my wife. I decided to boil green turned madrone bowls on the stove. Three hours of boiling and splatters, I thought the tannins had lifted the paint. Tried everything. After watching you video, I took some CLR, mainly for lubrication and new razor blade. Took a while, but looks brand new again!
I have used this method when I was prepping appliances for rental properties. Key instructions you explained really well as well as the caveats. Thanks for taking the time to make this video! Just go slow and find that "sweet spot ".
I’ve tried basically EVERYTHING before seeing this video, and I wish I saw this video sooner because it would have saved me several days of scrubbing. Thank you
Totally worked - after trying all the chemicals and applying tons of elbow grease - this approach works. Thank you! Now - to keep it up. I think that's all that happened... we had this stove, brand-new, and we wouldn't clean it ALL the way... now that I know it can be done, it'll stay clean. Thanks again :)
If you ever want to make another video you can practice with my stove 😂.

30 days and 50 razorblades later …….woohoo😉
You sound a little like Deadpool/Ryan Reynolds

Wow the scratches on the stove top. I wouldn’t use a razor

I am impressed by how easily you do this. Looks exactly like my stovetop. I will definitely try this! Thanks for the info
Thank you so much. I been trying to figure out how to clean this burnt grease off my stove! It was driving me crazy!! Worked like a charm 👍🏼👍🏼

Worked perfect with no scratches. It was also super easy. Wife is very happy!! Thank you very much.
